The Florida Gators had two players enter the transfer portal on Friday.
Smith is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound freshman right-handed pitcher who appeared out of the bullpen 15 times this season for the Gators. However, he only pitched a total of 17.2 innings over those appearances and held an 8.66 ERA while striking out 25 along the way.
One staggering note on Smith’s season was his inability to keep runners off the base path. He issued 11 walks and gave up 19 hits, resulting in 17 earned runs over his 17.2 innings of work. During his time at GCCC, Russell slashed .305/.414/.497 with six homers, 39 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 47 games. Also, Russell joined the Gators with the potential to be a two-way player.
With the Gators, he slashed .115/.172/.231 in 26 at-bats. He did have a triple, double and two RBI, but couldn’t find consistency to get more at-bats.
